PLEASANT PRAIRIE.

Mrs. HI. G. Peelman, of Fernwood,
ILL.,, was guest at the parsonage from
Thursday to Monday. She came to visit
her sister, Mrs. J. Reynolds.
Will Lieber is attending college at
Valparaiso, Ind. He is taking select
studies there, with a view to becoming a
| physician.
The Ladies' Aid Society meets at Miss
Hubbard's tonight friday. The
monthly business NEE ing will be held
in the afternoon, supper will be served
at six, and then the social meeting,
which is always interesting, will begin.
Everybody welcome.
The farmers are taking advantage of
the fine weather for fall flowing, and
they feel hopeful over the prospects for
next years crops.
Mr.. F. Hayward feels better, and has
recovered from his last relapse.
Mr.. Lem. Hill and his brother Syl-
vester went to Chicago Wednesday.
The quilt being made by the ladies
for the fund of the new church is a
source Of great interest, and will un-
doubtedly be financial success. How
much money will be realized by it it, is
impossible to surmise. But the enter
prise will need it all.
The depot at Ranney is beginning to
wear an improved appearance, but there
will be no improvement in the passenger
traffic from that station when the signal,
are in working order. Ranney will lose
its prestige when only four trains day
stop there to take passengers, and q
great many of us would rather see the
depot without its tower if we could have
every train stop at the crossing.
MIR. Dixon has started building the
new church. The lumber has been on
the ground some weeks. Four men are
working there now, and making the
sparks fly. They have almost finished
raising the frame. Wonder if tsey are
going to have stained glass windows.
The entertainment at the Union
church on the 25th promises to be one
of the best ever given there. In addition
to good local talent, fine assistance from
Kenosha and Bristol has been secured.
If the weather is favorable the church
will be crowded. Tickets will be sold
for 20 cents each at the door, and ushers
will politely show you to a pew. The
doors will be open at seven o'clock.
Rev. ]. Reynolds will preach in the
church on Sunday afternoon next at 2
o'clock. The Epworth hymnals will be
introduced, and will be used hereafter
at public service.
The Sunday school will be closed the
first Sunday in December, and win be
opened again in the spring.

ARBITRATION.

The arbitration of certain matters be.
tween Miss Anna Mccullough and the
Town of Pleasant Prairie, which lasted
a week, was concluded last Saturday
afternoon by an award of $17S and the
cost of the arbitration 1897 .83 in ally in
favor of Miss Mccullough. The dispute
between some of the county officials and
Miss Mccullough arose over the value
of the keeping of a pauper from the 9th
of January, 1885, until the 18th of April
of the same year, and for injury to the
health of Mrs. Mccullough, claimed to
have been caused by the threatening
attitude assumed by the then County
Agent towards the pauper, which threw
her into a fit of nervous prostration
from which she has never fully recover
ed, and also for injury to the health of
Miss Anna, caused by overwork and
care incident to having the charge Of .
sick man combined with the pressing
duties of the household, which could not
be neglected; for all of which she asked
the sum of $15,771. Miss Mccullough
presented her claim to the County
Board of Supervisors. A fifty dollar
tender was made by the County, which
was afterwards raised to 500, and re-
fused by Miss Mccullough. The matter
in difference was referred by the County
Supervisors to the Town Board of
Pleasant Prairie for adjustment. They,
by their Chairman. Mr.. Albert Fox,
with the consent of Miss Mccullough,
submitted the dispute to board of
arbitrator for final settlement. The
names of the arbitrator are Mr.. c. A.
Dewey, of Kenosha Mr.. P. III. Ward,
of Minnesota, and Mr.. Louis Robinson,
of Pleasant Prairie.
A ludicrous incident which grew out
of the erbitration is worth relating. Five
minutes after the arbitrators had found
their award prominent attorney was
informed and given the figure of the
award. Another gentleman who was in
haste to get rich had found the number
of weeks that the county pauper had
been taken care of by the McCulloughs,
and was informed that if he would
multiply the number of weeks by GER
tain numerals named he would have
the sum awarded. This he did, but
made mistake in multiplying; then,
with defective product in his minds
eye," he waltzed on to the street TO
secure victim. 1t did not take him q
great length O. time to run up against
the attorney above mentioned, who was
Immediately " stumped" for bet. The
bet was taken up instanter, and few
minutes later Gustavus Adolphus was
seen lodging around street corner and
humming to himself that good old tune
80 well known to the sporting fraternity:
"When / can read my figures clear
And learn to multiply,
will bid farewell to cheese and beer,
And live on sherry pie.n

For the TeleQrGph.

Prof. A. A. Griffiths, years ago q
we'll known resident of this city as q
teacher and a student. after leaving
here turned his attention to the study
of elocution. He has the reputation
of having become successful as a
teacher in this accomplishment. 1t is
noticed that he gave lecture to a
large audience last Sunday evening in
the Congregational church at White
water, his subject being Bible and
Hymn Reading, with illustrations"
If any persons think this was an un.
profitable Sunday evening exercise. we
have only to say we differ with such.
Too little importance is attached to
pulpit manners, and especially to read.
ing the scriptures. As for hymn
reading, that seems now to be omitted
by most clergymen. The excuse for
reading the hymn does not bear criti-
cism. It has been we'll said there is
about the same reason for duplicating
a prayer as to duplicate the hymn, by
both reading and singing it.
Many well-prepared sermon has
failed to be listened to with interest
because of a disagreeable sty le of de-
livery. An immense amount of labor
in sermonizing has been lost, because
of inattention to voice and manner.
How often has the remark been heard,
"Thatwould have been good sermon,
or good address, if it had been we'll
delivered" st. Paul, it is probable,
had an Evolutionary training and the
rudiments of Oratory, which are indi-
Gated by his mastery speech before
king Agrippa. Effective scripture
reading is a rare attainment. Van
denhoff, the celebrated elocutionist,
years ago gave examples of scripture
reading, to few invited persons, OH a
Sunday afternoon in the Methodist
church in this city. He brought out
with effect the almost obscured beauty
of the Bible. 1t is related of Booth
1.-THE elder) that once being in company
with few literary friends, he repeat
ed the Lords prayer. When he had
finished his hearers looked at each
other with surprise. They had never
before realized the grandeur md SUBJ
Unity of that simple prayer. Clergy
men whose utterances are entitled to
weight have remarked that when the
scriptures are properly read, any pass
ing commentary during the reading
does not improve the sentiment, but
tends to mar the harmony and beauty
of the sacred words. Mr.. Griffith is
rendering a valuable service. All
church-goers hear the scriptures read
every Sunday, and if the effectiveness
of the reading can be improved it will
be gain for the better. Not only the
minister, but superintendent and
teachers should be able to read the
sacred word to those they are instruct
ing to the best advantage.

thought is suggested, whether the

The labor party in milwaukee, as
commenced organizing for the cleo
ton campaign next spring. Labor
party" is a popular name with most
working men. All persons who fall
into the category of laboring men very
naturally desire to better their condi-
ton. This is right, provided the bene-
fits sought to be gained are not at the
expense of other classes of people
Labor has rights, and where these
rights are withheld laboring men are
justified in organizing for the secure
ment of them in legitimate way
through the ballot.

EARLY HISTORY.

The early history of Kenosha is not
likely to be forgotten. The first his.
tory was published in pamphlet form
in 1874. From this the following items
are taken: This place was first called
Pike, that being the name of the first
post Office until 1887, when it was
changed to Southport, and in 1850
changed again to Kenosha.
The population of the place, which
probably then comprised very near the
present limits of the city. was as fol.

THE FINAL DISPOSAL OF THE
CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS.

All our readers nave long before
this learned of the final disposal of the
Chicago anarchists, who we're found
guilty of the crime of murder. There
were seven of those murderous as
sassins, one of whom ended his life by
suicide; two had their sentence COM
muted by the Governor to imprison-
ment for life, and four were hung.
We venture a few comments on the
Communication of the Governor, in ex-
empting two of the criminals from
the death penalty. This is done at
the risk of differing from those whose
opinions we respect. 1t must be borne
in mind that these men were deemed
worthy Of death, not simply because
they were anarchists. but for the
reason they were proven murderers.
Their friends claim that they were
sentenced to die for exercising the
privilege of free speech, guaranteed to
all men by the constitution. This is
an evasion of the fact; their death
sentence was not for the reason they
had abused the privileges of free
speech, but for deliberately committing
the crime of murder. 1t was shown
on their trial that they were guilty of
destroying the lives Of seven men,
most of whom were on official duty at
the time, and also more or less injuring
about fifty other persons. The jury,
after fair and patient trial, found the
seven anarchists all guilty; the State
Supreme Court of Illinois, after care
full review of the evidence, sanctioned
the finding Of the jury; the United
States Supreme Court found no irreg-
ularity in the proceedings and con-
firmed the death sentence of all. Gov.
Oglesby appears to have made dis
covery which had not been taken into
account by either the State and the U.
S. Supreme Court. He did not pre-
tend there had been any new evidence
mitigating the case of two Of the con-
demned, Schwab and Fielder, but per-
haps the burden of sympathy was in
their behalf or~~whatever his reason
may have been, he saw fit to save their
lives. The Supreme Court. in review.
ing the cases individually, says OF
Schwab, There is evidence enough
in the record to sustain the finding OF
the jury" and in the case of Fielder
"There is evidence of a very distinc,
and positive character that he shot al
the police" The voice of the loyal
people, with much unanimity, desired
that the full penalty of the law should
be carried out on those proven guilty
The welfare of the country required
that an example of punishment should
be made, without compromise, to the
end that no hope should be left for
future criminals to escape condign
punishment. The hanging of the six
anarchists on Friday last would have
beer in accordance with the finding OF
the jury, and the approval of the State
and the United States Supreme Court
therefore it would have been more
effectual rebuke of the spirit of an.
archy had Gov. Oglesby refrained
from interfering and allowed the law
to take its course.

GLADSTONES ADVICE TO THE
LIBERALS.

L1DEnALC.
A meeting of unusual size was at
tempted to be held last Sunday on
Trafalgar Square, London, composed
largely of unemployed laboring men.
1t is estimated that 100000 of this
class of men were gathered to express
their condition and that of their fami-
lies. 1t is said to have been the largest
collection of people assembled for such
a purpose for many years. The au-
thorities deemed the holding of the
meeting for such purpose calculated
to increase the prevailing discomfort,
and orders were given to prevent the
assembling of the people. Thousands
of policemen were summoned to
carry out the order of the authorities
The police were vigorously resisted by
the multitude intent on holding the
meeting; much violence followed. 1t
was. declared the interference of the
police was an attack on free speech.
Mr.. Gladstone has written letter to
the radicals advising obeyance of the
authorities, and tacitly justifying the
police for their action. That wise
statesman says that respect for pro.
per authority is the better way to OBJ.
tain the relief they wish. Advice like
this from Gladstone in months past
has had tendency to allay much of
rancorOus feeling between parties diff
fering in respect to home-rule in Ire.
land. There has been an improved
state of feeling in England and Ireland
for some time past, brought about by
the cou nsels Of Gladstone.

THE HORSES FEET.
Why They Should Receive Daily Alter
 ton and Examination.

Why They Should Receive Daily Atten-
 ton and Examination.
 Few farmers give that attention to their horses feet that.they should give. Most men rub and curry well enough, perhaps, aud many take great pride and plenty of time in smoothing the horses hide; but seldom is it that they think of that most indispensable part the horses feet, and stop to give them that little attention and inspection that is almost daily necessary.
 The feet of the horse require as much attention as the body. and some horses feet much more. Without sound feet the horse is not of much service for labor A horses feet may become un- sound by having to stand in filthy stable. The floor and bedding of the stable should always be dry, and the manure that is caked under foot every morning should be carefully removed by the groom. As often as necessary the hoof should be pared. and the frog examined as 10 sound ness and hardness. A little alum water and brine should be kept at hand. and the frog of the foot mopped with it once a week to keep the frog sound and hard. A soft frog causes the animal to get lamed easily, and so he can not travel or work well.
 Sometimes stones and other hard substances get fastened in the foot, and if not removed cause lameness. Cop peras thrown over the manure of the stable to destroy smell. will tend to keep the hoof sound. It is well to sprinkle it over the stable frequently, if for no other purpose to cure the un- pleasant smell that often attaches to the feet of the horse. Plaster will have the same effect, and is very use ful 10 prevent the loss of ammonia from the manure. - Country Gentle TlG7l.
